[nrv-hams] DC Power load 12V at 100A

[Russ Abbey]

Garland, where did you see this?  I ask as I was just on the FCC's site and
didn't see anything on it.  Nor does the ARRL have anything on this. It
would have to go through the standard procedure of licensing, so we'll stay
tuned.  If you can get a link to the page where you saw it please forward
it to my personal email.  n4mav1 at gmail.com
Thanks and 73
